EBC has been manufacturing the EBC brake pads for previous years and has gotten out their Red Stuff, Yellow Stuff and Green Stuff brake pad technology. With the unveiling of the “BlueStuff” for the 2010 SEMA Trade show, many car enthusiasts were excited to know what its difference from the previous designs. In respect to the Customer and Media Relations at EBC Brakes, Chris Noah says, “the Blue Stuff brake pads are designed for sports cars and faster sport compacts. This new brake pad material is extremely tough and incredibly easy on the EBC brake rotors.”
Among the best and lasting within the EBC brake pad materials family is the EBC BlueStuff. The BlueStuff is designed for heavier and quicker sedans, passenger and muscle cars in track use, which have the endurance grade, longest lasting material. The BlueStuff delivers a longer life compared to its counterparts; however, it has a slightly lower friction coefficient than Green Stuff, Yellow Stuff and Red Stuff. Drivers of endurance races have the accountability to check their vehicle and all its parts, to know if they are properly functioning. Include evaluation of the brakes before the beginning of a race; this is where bluestuff is recommended because it is suitable for endurance races up to 6 hours in duration.
These race pads could also be used on the street like on production cars. Initially, the BlueStuff NDX brake pad material was developed by undergoing years of track testing and was currently refined to be made suitable for heavy US model cars like Mustang, Camaro, GTO, Viper and Corvette.
If you look at the condition on the “BlueStuff” racing brake pads, you will discover that the material used in the manufacturing of the pads underwent research and development for two years. This became done in the European labs and tracks before it was launched in the United States. The people at EBC said that the NDX Blue Stuff brake pads were “pre-bedded” by heat scorching and EBC claims that the pads of the brakes will “bed in” within three or four stops at the track.
The features of the EBC BlueStuff brake pads include pre-bedded creation by heat scorching, is bonded to the steel backing plates using multiple high strength interlock holes, deep V grooves incorporated to help venting and catching dirt, the dust and dirt and lastly, manufactured by blending specially chosen synthetic naturally mined fibers.
